3. By the way, Rand Paul is kind of an idiotic dickhead. His acceptance speech was a mishmash of Tea Party greatest hits, an incoherent ramble that made no sense in the context it was given. Oh, sure, the usual "We have come to take our government back" nonsense was par for the course. But this part was ten kinds of nuts:

"We now have a president, though, who apologizes for America's greatness. We have a president who went to Copenhagen and appeared with Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez and others, Evo Morales to apologize for the industrial revolution. They say, these dictators, these petty dictators say that to stop climate change, it's about ending capitalism. They are explicit. And the president by attending Copenhagen gives credibility and credence to these folks, and he should not go. America is a great country." Mugabe? Copenhagen? What the fuck? Dude, that must have been some awesome coke you did backstage.

Has this jagoff ever heard his own father speak? Good ol' Ron makes Noam Chomsky sound like Henry Kissinger when it comes to US foreign policy. I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to jr. since I find him completely non-interesting. But goddamn he sounds dumb.

"Paulturbators" :rofl:

2. From what I read his speech sounded like a 12 yr. old giving their summer vacation oral report. nt

3. Talking Points Memo had some similar things to say about him
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/05/more_on_rand_paul.php?ref=fpblg

"So is Rand Paul, on a personal level, just a deeply unlikeable guy? One of the weird things about his acceptance speech last night was that he held it at the local country club -- to what looked uncannily like a members only crowd. This morning he defended the venue by saying that Tiger Woods has made golf a lot more popular. More to the point, news came out overnight that Paul allegedly refused to take Trey Grayson's concession phone call last night.

... I am getting the impression that Paul -- aside from just being very unlikeable in personal terms -- may be a much more divisive figure than one might from any Tea Party candidate who snatches away a nomination from an establishment party figure. ... a poll out yesterday showed that Grayson supporters in Kentucky simply hate Rand Paul in a way that goes way beyond the normal aftermath of a contested primary. ... 53% of likely Grayson voters for today have an unfavorable opinion of Paul to only 23% with a positive opinion of him. More importantly though just 40% of Grayson voters say they'll support Paul in the general election if he wins the Republican nomination with 43% explicitly saying they will not. ...

... I get the sense there's a whole issue of personality (and messianism) that's going to be in play in that race beyond quite apart from ideology narrowly construed. "

4. Perhaps the democratic candidate can peel off some of those Grayson voters.
